I'm in Starbucks and I heard it from one guy who happened to just scream the news to everyone within earshot. Had to check it out for myself to make sure he wasn't on something.

Wow, I was shocked to hear that Osama Bin Landen is dead. All I can is that nothing can bring back those whose lives he is responsible for taking back. I just hope that this news can bring peace and closure to their families. God Bless not just the USA but the whole world.

I am glad I was wrong when I thought that he was never going to be found. It sure feels good to know that he is gone. I hope lives affected by 9/11 can find some closure knowing that he is dead.

NEW: President Obama says of bin Laden's death: "Justice has been done"s
(CNN) -
May 2nd, 2011
12:24 AM ET

[Updated, 12:24 a.m. ET] A team of U.S. Navy SEALs carried out the operation in Pakistan that ended in the death of al Qaeda leader Osama bin Laden, CNN's Chris Lawrence reported. The operation lasted about 40 minutes, and the team had practiced the raid a few times.

Earlier, CNN's Nick Paton Walsh, citing a senior Pakistani intelligence official, reported that members of Pakistan's intelligence service - the ISI - were on site in Abbotabad, Pakistan, during the operation that killed bin Laden. The official said he did not know who fired the shot that actually killed Bin Laden.

[Updated, 12:11 a.m. ET] Members of Pakistan's intelligence service - the ISI - were on site in Abbotabad, Pakistan, during the operation that killed Osama bin Laden, CNN's Nick Paton Walsh reports, citing a senior Pakistani intelligence official. The official said he did not know who fired the shot that actually killed Bin Laden.

[Updated, 12:06 a.m. ET] The crowd celebrating bin Laden's death outside the White House has grown significantly. Lots of cheering and waving of the U.S. flag.

[Updated, 11:59 p.m. ET] - More detail on where Osama bin Laden was killed: Forces killed him at a compound in Abbottabad, Pakistan, after a firefight, U.S. President Barack Obama said.

Cooperation with Pakistan helped lead U.S. forces to Osama bin Laden and the compound where he was hiding, President Barack Obama said.

Obama said he ordered the attack after he decided last week that the United States had actionable intelligence that bin Laden was in the compound.

[Updated, 11:56 p.m. ET] U.S. diplomatic facilities around the world were placed on high alert following the announcement of Osama bin Laden's death, a senior U.S. official said. The U.S. State Department should be sending out a new "worldwide caution" for Americans shortly.

On Sunday, the president said he ordered an operation -- carried out by a handful of U.S. troops -- to kill bin Laden in Pakistan. They did so after a firefight, bringing out the al Qaeda leader's body with them after their mission was complete.
"His demise should be welcomed by all who believe in peace and human dignity," Obama said in a speech announcing bin Laden's death. "Justice has been done."

How crazy is this country when on Twitter, My favorite TV character "Jack Bauer "is trending!

24 He was fictional character who saved the country in 24 hrs . 24 has so many fans of that character that takes a great moment like this for those to post he was the one .

We all should give our praise to US military CIA etc ,6 weeks to set this up and keep it silent .

They came and conquered not one US injury or death . Those Laden "protecters used a woman as a human shield ,who was killed.

Somali pirates, Gaddafi's son, now bin Laden - do NOT F* K with Obama, he's Gangsta!!

Well, I think it's safe to say that nobody will be asking to see Obama's college transcripts tomorrow morning, lol.
